Decade of Education for
Sustainable Development (DESD)
• 12/2002, the UN GA resolution 57/254
a UN DESD, from 2005 to 2014.
• Basic vision: A world where everyone has
the opportunity to benefit from education
and learn the values, behaviors and
lifestyles required for a sustainable future
and for positive societal transformation.
Space Technologies
• contribute significantly to wealth creation
and quality of life, both directly and in
terms of technology spin-off to other
sectors.
• Increasing number of citizens involved in
space education and related work (cutting
edge technology) is of paramount
importance for the benefit and wealth of
world’s people.
CubeSats/NanoSats
• CubeSats made space within reach of
everybody regardless of budget and
extensive know-how.
• Small budgets and short development
times.
• Great educational tool, involve everybody
in high tech work, increase national and
international cooperation and collaboration
for a safer peacefull world.
UNISEC of Japan
• UNISEC member universities are supporting
education using CanSat at high school level.
• Many educators at university level have addressed
the effectiveness of hands-on training, because it
provides unique opportunities and students can
learn project management skills as well as
technical process of space projects.
• UNISEC activities would enable those in teaching
positions at universities to improve their teaching
skills as well as their academic performance and
output.

Introduction to Space Engineering (1st year)
Aerospace structures (3rd year)
Orbital Mechanics, (3rd year)
Space environment, (4th year)

Rocket and Electric Propulsion (4th)
Spacecraft system design with application (SSD) (4th)
Spacecraft communications (4th)
Curriculum (AIAA/ABET)
• ‘’Astronautical engineering programs must
demonstrate that graduates have knowledge
of orbital mechanics, space environment,
attitude determination and control,
telecommunications, space structures, and
rocket propulsion’’.
• ‘’Program must also demonstrate that
graduates have design competence that
includes integration of astronautical topics’’.

Educational aspect of MIC!
• MIC1 evaluation comittee comment:
– only experienced applicants with some space
background and national heritage are
succesful in the finals.
A general summary of finalist teams
in MIC1 and MIC2:
• Experienced team
• Connection to a lab or group
• Ongoing work not just a new idea to be
realized
• Not undergraduate students
• Some pratical work already done
MIC2 Turkish Case (10 applicants no
finalist or semi finalist)
• Only undergraduate students (SSD topic) or MS
with no space background at all.
• Mostly Non-interdisciplinary teams (just space
engineers)
• Just a limited time: 3 months to find an idea and
to implement it although the MIC time is longer
• Finding an idea is a good element, reading
many different papers on different topics
• No time to implement or to evaluate the
suitability of the idea
• 2 term course work may be a remedy

Benefits-Education
• Space project: higly motivated students, individuals
• Applied education: plan, design, produce, test,
integrate, launch, observe a spacequalified actual
satellite during education
• Multidisciplinary research teams at universities
• Establish design, manufacturing and testing
infrasturcture
• Raise qualified and experienced Space Engineers
for aerospace industry
• Increase national capability in satellite technologies
Benefits
• Accounting for space debris in project
planning, compliance with UN regulations
• A new job sector: entrepreneurship,
student owned SMEs, Pumpkin, ISIS,
Clyde Space, Gumush
• To reach space is a realm of possibility for
everyone...
Conclusions
• Practical project work and design studies
are important elements of space
education.
• CanSat and CubeSat programs have a
positive effect on increasing space
awareness particularly among students
with international interaction.
• MIC and CLTP are useful tools
Conclusions
• Clearly defined topics seems to be more
suitable for high school and undergraduate
university programs
• Open end projects may be successfully
undertaken by experienced graduate
students and space professionals.
• All these developments have started to
shape space education curriculum,
worldwide.
• How can we benefit further from
extracurricular activities to
enhance space education
curriculum?
